In hindsight, I should’ve added a few more…
Repairability/sustainability: Easy to repair, sustainably produced.
Ethics: Anti-Big Tech (no Apple, no Samsung etc.), good workers’ rights and supply chain. Preferably European.
Privacy: Speaks for itself. Privacy or anonymity, measures that foster it rather than feed data to others.
I feel like Fairphone would hit the Repairability and likely also Ethics (since it’s a certified B corporation), but for Privacy, it’d be a Google Pixel with GrapheneOS… but it’s Google, and given the CLOUD Act…
Maybe I could add accessibility there too, interface customisation (I like the iOS interface ways, but still, it’s Apple), but that’s a separate category.
Jolla from Finland.
Buy a Fairphone from Murena, the company behind /e/OS. That way you buy a mostly fair produced phone thats ethical. It’s the most repairable there is and /e/OS is a deGoogled custom rom with many privacy features on top.
A Fairphone with e/OS/ on it.
For those categories, it’s gotta be Fairphone. Definitely wins in the ethics and repairability categories, and with /e/ I think it would be a decent contender in the privacy bracket.
A second hand Pixel with GrapheneOS might also be a contender. I think buying second hand is a decent ethical choice and GrapheneOS is probably as good as it gets for privacy. Not very repairable though.
It’s a bummer that /e/ does not support the fairphone moments feature
What’s that moments feature?
Using the switch on the side you can activate a minimalist mode that reduces distraction https://shop.fairphone.com/web/image/3163357-3ba2e9eb/FP6_LessDistractions_1920x1080
Wow, that looks zen as fuck. Yeah, bummer.
the best option unfortunately is Google Pixel with GrapheneOS
But how do we know there’s no backdoor fuckery?
Never reccomend that again please.
